Thats cool. I am still not sure what I am going to do with mine anyways yet. I am putting the truck on hold until next spring to work on other projects. I am still debating on staying on 35's but am definately going to do something about the rear leafs. Kind of leaning toward the skyjacker leafs though as they provide the same but only $550. Atlas or alcan probably makes them for Skyjacker, who knows. I am still not sure how the rack and pinion will hold up to 37's offroad so I figured I would sit on it for a bit...

I went through this when I bought gears for this truck. Everyone kept telling me to buy Yukon. I met the regional manager for G2 and he exlained that G2 sells some of their gears to Yukon and then Yukon puts their name on them to sell. Seems like no one manufactures their own products now. Subcontracts everything out...

Thanks though. Post what you come up with, will probably be helpful in my decision.

Well skyjacker makes a 4" softride AAL and I'm curious to how it would ride with a 3" block and 4" AAL. So I would have 7" in the back and 8" in the front, and should be able to clear 37's fine. But I'll find out soon for you.

I would be very apprehensive about a 4" add-a-leaf...I can't imagine how that would ride well considering the spring rate and arch needed to achieve 4". I would lean more towards leafs...

I am leaning toward the 8" or 6" atlas leafs so no blocks or little blocks in the rear. But could save alot of money by the Add a leaf.
